The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Omahu building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
